A shy male bluebird begins
An early courtship.

Tangled January 15, 2017
Things not to be rushed
Threading a needle, cutting
Loading the bobbin.

Sew Play January 11, 2017
Make, invent, arrange
In the spur of the moment
Improvisation.
Art Prescription: I though, “I’ll just make a little stuffed bunny.” More than an hour later, I was tangled in thread and cut fabric. My little bunny is pretty home-made and a little loose around his edges, and I enjoyed playing.
Improvisational sewing:

Dream time while I sleep
Backed out of drive, spun and slid
Comforter calls me.
